taken 6 years ago, near to Old Hunstanton, Norfolk, Great Britain

This decomposing body of a 55ft sperm whale had been washed up on the beach at Old Hunstanton on Christmas Eve. According to reports the body was first seen on the salt marshes near RAF Holbeach bombing range a week earlier. Within 24 hours of me taking this photo someone had sawn off half the bottom jaw from this unfortunate creature. For a video see Link It was eventually removed by contractors on January 4th who had to saw it into sections and load them into skips, see Link The solidified vomit from these whales is extremely valuable, Link
